[QUOTE="KSAv8r, post: 2410810, member: 86098"] We have done extensive testing of multiple production rifles with SAMI spec chambers and have found that a runout of up to 0.003" has little impact on group size. There are other factors that seem to have more impact such as choice of powder, bullets, brass, primer, neck tension, trigger pull........and the big one......the skill of the shooter. Sometimes I think we all get too focused on the little things that are easy to measure and lose sight of the bigger picture. The US, British and Israeli military (and others) have proven a trained marksman with a production rifle, a good scope and production match quality ammo can be taught to consistently engage targets at extended ranges of 1000+ yards. Good equipment will compensate somewhat for a lack of training and shooter skill but shooting is a perishable skill. Nothing beats trigger time to get familiar with our equipment and keep our skills sharp. Too bad we have supply chain issues, high inflation and find the shelves are mostly empty. Hopefully the good ole days will return soon so we can spend more time at the range or in the field. OK......now back to another cup of coffee (ha ha) [/QUOTE]
